[Talk-GB] High quality NLS imagery of buildings and HOUSENUMBERS (!) available in London (and Scotland). Create a tasking manger to add this?

Ok, it seems like this one didn't show up under the right thread. I moved the talk-gb at openstreetmap.org to the CC section and emailed mark at good-stuff.co.uk directly, but it didn't show up under that thread. The way I originally did it is by clicking on the email in the archive, which loads a mailto link, however it only loads talk-gb at openstreetmap.org . How do you respond to threads that you haven't been emailed properly?

If the buildings have changed, then you can mark a square as "bad imagery", making the tasking manager even more useful (so that you can discern where the imagery is accurate and where it isn't).

House numbers can, and sometimes do, change, particularly when streets are renamed or rebuilt. So you can't be 100% certain that a house number in the 1950s is the same number it is now, even if the building is still the same.
